Bewildered faces at the Belgians of Leicester City. Despite the fact that Tielemans and Faes gave their team victory against West Ham United, it is dropping out of the Premier League. A three-pointer was not enough for the rescue, because Everton – with Amadou Onana – secured the preservation with a win against Bournemouth.
Leicester City’s fairy tale in the Premier League has turned into a nightmare. The club of Tielemans and Castagne, among others, has to return to the second division after 9 years.
Culprit on duty: Everton.
Although The Foxes should mainly look at themselves. Today it did exactly what it was supposed to do, but Leicester have struggled for far too long this season. It only recorded 4 wins since the World Cup break. Much too little.
Still, there was hope for the party. If Leicester won themselves and Everton dropped points at home against Bournemouth, Dean Smith’s men would remain in the Premier League.
That message was clearly understood by the players.
Barnes deservedly gave the home team the lead after half an hour of play. In the second half, two compatriots provided a double lead. Youri Tielemans painted a free kick on the hour mark on the curly head of Wout Faes, who nodded in nicely.
Hope grew in Leicester, but at the same time Everton also took the lead. Waiting hopelessly for a goal from Bournemouth was all the Belgians could do. Fornals’ connection goal in Leicester will only enter the history books as a footnote.
The champion of 2016 is now (temporarily) saying goodbye to the highest stage. Amadou Onana’s Everton will still play in the Premier League next year. Whether Onana stays there too remains to be seen.
